In the summer of 2010, bandmates Brent Lyons and Brian Cito got together in a basement to play some music. They started going through old material, but found themselves jamming on new ideas that were very different from their previously Deftones and Smashing Pumpkins influenced work. Brent and Brian found themselves channeling their love for My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr, U2, and Sunny Day Real Estate. They realized they were being propelled in a new direction, and began looking for like-minded musicians. Kyle Curnutt entered the fold with a pop edge that the band needed, filling out the songs with melodic and original bass lines. Following Kyle, the group found singer and guitarist Todd Bernier. Todd comes from a tradition of shoegaze that instantly gelled with the band's sound. Drawing on influences from Swervedriver, J. Mascis, and Hum, Todd took existing pieces to the next level with his haunting volume swells, wah-drenched leads, and melodic vocals. Radio Telescope was born. Radio Telescope recorded their debut EP in December 2012 at Earwig Studios in Georgetown and have been busy playing shows around Seattle. The band is pleased to release the In the Permafrost EP in August 2013.
